This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.
It doesn't have all the same features as PhraseExpress, but if you are like me and just want a text expander, they are features you will never need or use anyway.
The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.
I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

For now, I'm giving Raindrop.io a try. It's imported all of my bookmarks just fine, the layout is very similar, and it even has some nice additional features. It has a paid version, but so far it looks like the free version does what I need. Saved.io also looks interesting, but Raindrop.io seems a bit more professional, and I want some of the added functionality it has. Best of luck to you other refugees. Source: almost 3 years ago

And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file. https://espanso.org/ It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
